-====== Minecraft Modding Primer (DRAFT) ======
+====== Minecraft Modding Primer ======
 //Note: This primer assumes no prior experience modding Minecraft. However, you will need to have a firm grasp on programming in Java to work with Minecraft (see the Prerequisites section). If you are coming to Fabric from another modloader, like Forge, the [[introduction]] will probably be more at your level.//
-===== Prerequisites for Minecraft Modding =====
--You must understand the basics of coding. If you have never touched code before, you must learn how to code first. "The basics" here means having a firm grasp on variables, functions, classes and methods, and object-oriented programming concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, and object casting. Your search engine is your friend!
+This document is meant to serve as an introduction to modding for anyone who doesn't know a ''BlockPos'' from a ''BlockState''. If you have experience with datapacks and want to take your skills to the next level, or you are learning to program in object-oriented languages and want a fun project to help you along, this is the document for you. First, let's start with what you need to know beforehand:
--You should have some experience in a programming language like Java or C/C++/C#. Java's syntax is relatively simple to pick up for someone coming from the C family.
+===== Prerequisites for Minecraft Modding =====
--Familiarity with Java's syntax for lambda methods, generics (you should know what these are), and syntactic sugar like the ternary operator will be very helpful-- but this is something that a quick learner can pick up along the way.
--You must know how to use the Internet to find answers to questions, and etiquette for asking for help on forums.
